Answer 1

For the ones that using Xamarin.IOS you can do like this:

new UIAlertView(null, message, null, "OK", null).Show();

using UIKit; is required.

Answer 2

Again if using IOS on Xamarin there is a new component called BTProgressHUD in the component store

Answer 3

For Swift 3 & 4:

Use Toaster library

Toast(text: "Hello, world!", duration: Delay.long)

For Swift 2:

Use JLToast

Answer 4

For me this solution works fine: https://github.com/cruffenach/CRToast

Example how use it:

    NSDictionary *options = @{
                          kCRToastTextKey : @"Hello World!",
                          kCRToastTextAlignmentKey : @(NSTextAlignmentCenter),
                          kCRToastBackgroundColorKey : [UIColor redColor],
                          kCRToastAnimationInTypeKey : @(CRToastAnimationTypeGravity),
                          kCRToastAnimationOutTypeKey : @(CRToastAnimationTypeGravity),
                          kCRToastAnimationInDirectionKey : @(CRToastAnimationDirectionLeft),
                          kCRToastAnimationOutDirectionKey : @(CRToastAnimationDirectionRight)
                          };
[CRToastManager showNotificationWithOptions:options
                            completionBlock:^{
                                NSLog(@"Completed");
                            }];

You can make use of MBProgressHUD project.

Use HUD mode MBProgressHUDModeText for toast-like behaviour,

MBProgressHUD *hud = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:self.navigationController.view animated:YES];

// Configure for text only and offset down
hud.mode = MBProgressHUDModeText;
hud.label.text = @"Some message...";
hud.margin = 10.f;
hud.yOffset = 150.f;
hud.removeFromSuperViewOnHide = YES;

[hud hideAnimated:YES afterDelay:3];

Swift Implementation of Android Toast using Alert which dissipate after 3 secs.

    func showAlertView(title: String?, message: String?) {
    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: title, message: message, preferredStyle: .Alert)
    let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .Cancel, handler: nil)
    alertController.addAction(okAction)
    self.presentViewController(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)


    let delayTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(3 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
    dispatch_after(delayTime, dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
        print("Bye. Lovvy")
        alertController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }
}

To Call it simply :

self.showAlertView("Message sent...", message: nil)
